One artist said that the dealers did NOR,

proof that support is lacking than is found il

what they can of an ephemeral or business
like character in order to meet their actual
bread and butter bills. The rent has to be
paid, even If customers do not come. dinner
has to be bought and tobacco must be had.

BY this work than by any other. He had
done other theatrical work. He had gotten
up dainty drawings for souvenir books and
illustrations for special programmes, but
none of them was so profitable as taking a
piece OF charcoal and with a few sweeping
strokes picture forth the thrilling climax of

Getting Ready for War.

Curious and ingenious methods arc bejne
introduced to increase the efficiency of tbt
European armies. In France pigeons arr
being trained to carry messages backward
and forward between two given points on the
following clever plan: The carrier pigeon
will NATURALLY fly back to its cote; but being
Kept there without grain or water the bird
will return to the point whence it came in
order to procure food. Thus in case of a
city being beleaguered the pigeon would
traverse the lines twice in a day. eating at
one point away in the country and domesti.
eating at the other within the walls, thus sup
plying an invaluable line Of communication.
In Germany the infantry are supplied with
intelligent watch dogs for the outposts. who
scent and detect danger long before the
sentry b aware of it, while the cavalry are
trained to swim streams, leading their horses
BY the brides, the latter carrying the SOL
dler's arms and accoutrements,
h latest idea, however, comes from
tsusaa, where the minister Of war has
ordered that in all the infantry and cavalry
corps a certain number OF officers and men
shall in future employ part of their time in
shooting and hunting game. The object il
explained to be to combine this with recon-
Motoring work, thus enabling the troops to
